About this map

The White Pine Range and Horse Range dominate this high-desert terrain where the border of Nye and White Pine counties meets. Much of the area is protected within the Humboldt National Forest, which contains a series of vital water sources including Hidden Spring, Secret Spring, and Summit Spring. The landscape is centered on the namesake Currant Summit, a high point along the central road corridor that connects these remote basins.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Franzonie Reservoir, fed by Currant Cr. The map details a network of access routes used for forest management and local travel, such as the Natl Forest Develop Road 407 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 613 Trl. This survey captures the intersection of high-altitude Nevada geology and the essential infrastructure of the Great Basin mountain ranges.
